I just spent the last hour and a half cleaning paint drops and splatters and swipes from the recent and long past paint jobs off of kitchen countertops and plus and also starting to clean off the brass door fixtures in the front hall. Really probably not the best use of my time, oh well. maybe I should shower and go to bed.

lisah, the one I was talking about is [link] They've got Woodberry pickups, as well as my FM, but also full shares at my workplace, which you could totally use me as a conduit.

My Buffistas, I have two words for you: Bacon. Torch. [link]

I dislike the term cougar because it implies there's something predatory about an older woman with a younger man, while men go after women a third their age without having a similar label.

Yeah, Demi Moore is 16 years older than Ashton Kutcher. It was a very Stop The Presses sort of thing when they got together and was mentioned for a long time. Bruce Willis (who is 7 tears older than Demi) is married to Emma Hemming who is 23 years his junior. Not a peep, really.

Emma isn't as famous in the states as Ashton, but she's modeled all over the world so she isn't exactly entirely unfamous.

So, yeah, until there is some sense of ::gasp:: parity Imma have to reject the whole cougar notion.

Yah, I have to partly agree with you, but partly say some of it has to do with age at wedding, Trudy...looking at it, she was 30 when she married Bruce Willis, whereas partly the Ashton/Demi thing was so "oooh scandal!" because he was so YOUNG...he was 28 when they got married, but only like, 25 when they started dating.

IIRC, Callista and Harrison were made noise about. I can guarantee you I'm not going to remember Bruce's wife's name, but Ashton was that guy who'd just played a teen.

My neighbor throws bones and dikon in stock pot.

I am fascinated by the Gus talk. Mostly because 1) I actually flirted with him on the board. 2) i really disliked him sometimes 3) I believed things even when they were very odd 4) I did morn him and then find out he was a fake

Dolley Madison was really amazing.

I've got that American Experience ep on dvr for watching later this week! She's probably the earliest prominent woman who was photographed that I can think of (she lived until the 1840s, and so was able to have her daguerrotype taken), and that just fascinates me to no end. She and Abigail Adams are my favorite not-modern First Ladies.

I'm just climbing out of the rabbit hole of threadsucking the archives.

My eyeballs are bleeding.

Lalala, not going near those archives. You can't make me. Once was enough.

Though believe me, I understand the compulsion. Must...resist....Lalala, can't hear you.
